Neighbor Sued Over Refusing to Share WiFi Password

[Alan_Hepburn]

I have no idea what BR-549 is. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to feed my Sea Monkeys and eat my Shake-a-Puddin'.

It's the number you call if you want to buy a used car from Junior Samples...

Uh.... it was sarcastic.
How would I know about Sea Monkeys and Shake-a-Puddin and yet be clueless about Junior's phone number?
I was there for all of it. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and GI Joe and Rice a Roni.
It's the San Francisco treat!

I watched this video and have been sitting here for the last several minutes figuring out a response to say. I can't come up with one. I'm just speechless! More like dumbfounded as I can't believe anyone can actually be that stupid!

I laughed the whole time I was watching that yesterday. worst part is, he though he had every right to steal someone else's WIFI, or wanted her to pay for his.
About the same as someone rear ending another car because they stopped too fast and blaming the other driver.

I was once stopped behind another car that was waiting to turn from a parking lot onto a street. They must have been irritated about waiting too long because they just put it in reverse and ran into me! At the time (many eons ago) I was driving a two ton sedan of solid Detroit steel with a sturdy bumper. I got a tiny scratch, she got a small dent. She came out of that car screaming that I shouldn’t have been that close, that I was a stupid college student who didn’t now how to drive, etc. etc. I said let’s call the police, and she agreed. Police totally sided with me because she didn’t notice we had witnesses! She was so unhinged a nice older man came up to me thinking I would be scared of her, and he told the police what happened. Police asked what I wanted to do, and I said I want her to apologize! She did it with poor grace, but I accepted. So sometimes the car in front really is the cause of the wreck.

I was involved in something like that once. only I was the witness.

Pickup came around the corner on two wheels and ran into a car just starting to make a left turn into the parking lot I was waiting to exit. Driver came out screaming at the car's driver.

Policed ask me what I saw... I told them I knew they were going to crash when the truck came around the curve on two wheels.

In 1975 I was stopped at a stoplight in my '72 Triumph TR6. A '67 Chevy pickup was stopped behind me.

The police estimate said a '68 Ford Bronco doing around 65 mph ran into the Chevy truck behind me. Like a pool ball hitting another the truck only moved 5 feet. But the truck hit me with so much force I was catapulted across a 4 lane street over the curb on the opposite side of the street with my brakes on.

Amazingly no one needed medical attention. And amazingly I didn't cause a second wreck.

The Bronco was totaled, the Chevy truck only had damage to the back bumper, but the frame of my car was so bent it was only 3" off the ground. I had to lower the window and crawl out over my door. But I was able to drive it 6 blocks to home with the frame scraping the street on every bump.

Of course the Bronco driver was drunk and had already lost his license and insurance. So I had to pay my $500 deductible. Which is $3,094 in today's money. And I didn't get that $500 back until the Bronco driver paid State Farm back.

So sometimes it isn't the car behind its the car behind them.

So sometimes it isn't the car behind its the car behind them.

My version of that was not so bad. Not much damage (Cost me less than 25 to fix and I got paid way more by the at-fault's insurance) But the fun part was in court when I described the crash (the at-fault was driving an alphabet car you know like a 'K-car" as was the guy behind me. I had a Ford but I did not move much).. The At Fault was driving during suspension however.

Got to court and I told what happened.
Magistrate turns to at fault and asks him his version
Well he told it the way it happened,, Magistrate issues the obvious ruling.
But But But Shouldn't they have had their 4 Ways on?
(4 ways don't work when you are standing on the brakes with both feet)

Glad you were not injured and did not crash into anyone else.
That takes a bit of attention to detail when the stuff meets the rotating impeller.

I had pulled in to a parking space with an open space behind me when a car pulled in behind me and slammed into my trailer hitch. She was going so fast her bumper bent around the hitch. Young girl was ranting and raving I had backed into her. The cop looked at the dirt that fell down in my space and found her at fault. I took a bunch of pictures. She told the same story to her insurance co until I sent them the incident report and photos. 3 months later State Farm gave me my $500.00 back.

This entitlement is a direct result of failed parenting. Specifically, those who give kids anything they want, and continue subsidizing their lives when they're adults.

AMEN!!!

I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos. The latest mind blower for me is a guy who who sued his neighbor because she would not share her WIFI password. Unbelievable:

It's really no different than demanding your neighbor let you install a driveway across his property. He paid for the equipment and monthly access costs and you're demanding to use it.

On an unrelated note, I used to live in a trailer park where my next door neighbor (an older man) was on long term probation for distributing child pornography. In spite of this he was a nice enough guy and when my cable modem broke I asked if I could use his wifi until mine was replaced. He laughed and explained why I really didn't want my online activity to be associated with his account.

.... TR6. A '67 ....

Hey! Isn't that, that other poster's "password"????

This is a fake judge youtube series. It's for "entertainment" purposes only. All the videos are outlandish suits that would never hold up in a real court. The guy playing the judge is an actor although I forget what his name is offhand. All the videos do is rage bait people into clicking, commenting, and sharing, thus generating activity for the poster who can monetize the eyes by YouTube selling ads.

"Mango Park" is the name of a fictional, scripted television series set in a district court, which often leads to confusion.. it's also based in california.. say no more..

Interesting that the AI summary of the discussion doesn't say anything about it being fake. Seems to me that's the most important part.

Judge Porter is an actor named Verne Alexandre who plays a fictional judge on the online drama and courtroom series Judge Porter. The cases, litigants, and the judge are all scripted, often unscripted improv, and are not real legal proceedings.

I realized now that I was fooled by AI. Nothing to be ashamed over, stuff happens.

If it's on the internet, it must be true.....

 

[UTTransplant]

If it sounds too good to be true or too crazy to be true, it is probably not true. I never believe anything really crazy until I check it out with primary sources. The most important ones to check are the ones that confirm your biases.

I'm not sure I agree.

I didn't watch the video, but my impression is that it's not AI, but instead a parody, or merely fiction. That's not the same thing.

Although the result can be--posting something that is not true, but people think it is (whether generated by AI or by humans). Definitely people here thought that was a real court case.

So what's the harm? Well, people are using it to shore up their belief/opinion about various societal ills. But it's fake!

I don't know of any penalties for posting things that aren't true without a disclaimer or warning that they're not true. Maybe that's where shame could be useful--if there were enough (or even any) shame involved in posting something without verifying that it's true, maybe people would be more diligent. And we'd all be better off for it.
